Microdermabrasion Facial in Tsawwassen, Delta, BC

Our skin is exposed to so many damaging factors every day. Sun damage, pollution, dehydration, and even the unavoidable aging process all take their toll on our skin in the form of fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, texture issues, and more. But there’s something we can do.

Microdermabrasion facials offer so many benefits. The non-invasive, non-chemical treatment is perfect for elevating your skin's health, and its appearance. If you're looking for a safe and effective path to a more radiant and youthful-looking complexion, microdermabrasion is the answer.

Benefits of Microdermabrasion Facial

Effectively Removes Dead Skin Cells:

One of the main advantages of microdermabrasion is its exceptional ability to exfoliate your skin. During the treatment, we use a diamond-tipped wand to gently exfoliate the skin's surface and remove dead skin cells.

This exfoliation process reveals the fresh, radiant skin beneath, leaving you with a smoother and more youthful-looking complexion. This treatment is not only quick, it’s relatively painless. At most you may feel a slight scratching sensation.

Stimulates Collagen Production and Reduces Wrinkles:

As we age, our skin's collagen production naturally decreases, leading to the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Microdermabrasion combats these signs of aging by stimulating your body to naturally boost collagen production in the treated areas.

The treatment triggers the body's natural healing response, resulting in immediately firmer, more elastic skin. Over time, this significantly reduces the appearance of fine lines and even established wrinkles.

Helps with Dark Spots, Sun Damage and Hyperpigmentations:

The sun exposure that gives you that golden tan may also lead to dark spots and hyperpigmentation – unfortunately most commonly on the face.

Microdermabrasion is an effective solution for correcting both of these issues. By gently removing the outermost layer of damaged skin, microdermabrasion treatment helps to gradually fade dark spots and even out skin tone – creating a more balanced and radiant complexion.

Helps Improve the Appearance of Shallow Acne Scars:

Acne scars are a source of frustration for many people, impacting their daily life and self-confidence. Microdermabrasion can help improve the appearance of shallow acne scars by smoothing the skin's surface and encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin cells.

While it may not completely eliminate deep or pitted scars, this treatment can make them less noticeable and create a more even skin texture. You will see a noticeable difference in the overall smoothness of your skin.

Makes Your Skin Smooth:

One of the immediate benefits of microdermabrasion is the instant improvement in skin texture. After just one session, you won’t believe how incredibly smooth and soft to the touch your skin feels. This enhanced texture is such a confidence boost and even makes makeup application easier, saving you precious time in your daily morning routine.

Reduce Pore Size:

Those with oily or combination skin know the struggle of enlarged pores, blackheads, and other skin congestion issues that come along with it. Microdermabrasion helps reduce the size of enlarged pores by unclogging them and promoting healthier skin cell turnover.

Smaller pores not only mean a smoother complexion, but they also make it more difficult for impurities to become trapped in the skin. This effectively reduces future skin congestion, breakouts, and blemishes.

Improves Blood Flow:

Microdermabrasion isn't just about the outer appearance of our skin. It also benefits skin health on a deeper level. The procedure stimulates blood flow to the treated area, delivering a boost of vital nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells. This increased circulation can result in a healthier, more vibrant complexion.
